WIAW: Instead, I…

Monday was a bit of an unusual day for me. Allow me to explain, WIAW-style.

Normally, Eric drives to work Monday mornings….but instead, he had to take a cab Monday. Because the wind chill was apparently so bad Sunday night that the car wouldn’t start Monday morning. #fail.

Normally, I have a sweet breakfast. Instead, I…

had half a smashed avocado on rice cakes with runny eggs and a side of kabocha. Delicious, even though savoury breakfasts are still foreign to me.

Normally, I would need a hot lunch on a super-cold day. Instead, I…

went for a green smoothie (frozen banana, North Coast Naturals 100% ISO protein in chocolate, PB2, maca powder, spinach, and a bit of almond milk). Topped with Mini Wheats, of course.

Made with my newest kitchen toy – review to come next week!

Normally, I go for chocolate or something along those lines if I’m feeling dessert. Instead, I…

had a scoop of peanut butter. It was a good decision.

Normally, I go to the gym for my workouts. Instead, I…actually got in a workout at home! I was planning to go to hot yoga but with the car out of commission that wasn’t an option. So, I did this workout from PopSugar Fitness. To be honest, the most astounding thing was that I did it without kicking over the coffee table or anything. I think my gym needs to get on capoeira classes…

Normally, I try to avoid having a prepackaged snack when I’m at home, so I can save them for when I get hungry when I’m out and about. Instead, I…

popped a White Chocolate Raspberry Quest Bar in the microwave and inhaled that after I got the car issue sorted out. Fortunately, our battery wasn’t dead and we just needed the CAA guy to give us a boost. Then I had to sit in the car for 30 minutes with it running <— I was mentally apologizing to environmentalists the whole time.

Normally, I have my dinner plan sorted out. But since Eric wasn’t sure if he was going to be home or not for dinner Monday night, I didn’t plan anything. He was, so I just threw some grilled cheeses together.

With ketchup for dipping + side salad for veggies.

Normally, I have chocolate after dinner. Instead, I…

nope, still had chocolate. Chocolate pudding though.

Normally, I have dessert once. Instead I…

had a second dessert. The best friend came over with Timbits – half sour cream glazed and half chocolate glazed. Which are the two best donuts/timbits out there. Complete with wine, because we’re classy like that. Oh, and we watched Frozen.

Such a cute theme! I am curious if you keep up those savory breakfasts I haven’t seen Frozen but just might need to this weekend – it looks cute! But I also need to see 12 Years of Slave so might see that. Happy Wednesday friendAmy @ The Little Honey Bee recently posted..Whole 30 Eats {WIAW 33}

Can you believe we don’t really have donuts here? We have some sad versions at Starbucks but that’s it.
Oh I am sooo jealous on your Blender!! My Ninja arrived and died the second I plugged it in. Talk about a REALLY blonde moment (US-Swiss electricity are not friends). A new one is on the way and I somehow need to try and get my money back…..Lucie@FitSwissChick recently posted..WIAW#53 – Rush Style

kabocha must alwaaays be eaten cold. Even when I first roast a batch, I’ll stick it in the fridge for a while before I’ll eat any – just so much better that way. And pudding flavoured gelato?!?! Ok, so, settled. i’m going to Australia and you’re taking me for gelato.

MMMM grilled cheese I made a grilled cheese last month with balsamic red onions and fontina cheese on sourdough and it was seriously the best dinner of February. Who knew grilled cheese could feel so fancy?

And I have been hearing great things about this Frozen movie. I think I may need to take my 17-mo old daughter to see it!

wasn’t frozen adorable???? so cute. i have to say lately even when it is cold I have been eating cold things, although I do still need some food warmth in the form of roasted veggies.alex @ therunwithin recently posted..Trade – em Up: I want it all.

Best donut: The filled chocolate long johns at the little donut shop in my town. Swoon.
As for Frozen, I saw it and thought it was SO cute. People have been telling me all winter that Princess Anna is my look a like, which I take as a huge compliment. And actually, I just got hired by an entertainment company to go to parties dressed as her, take pictures with kids, sign autographs, and sing songs from the show. I couldn’t be more excited.Sally Rae recently posted..WAIW – National Pancake Day!

I think I need to replicate that breakfast for my lunch tomorrow! That grilled cheese is drool-worthy!
Frozen is up with my favorites.. after Tangled of course
I am so inexperienced when it comes to donuts.. but I think you can’t go wrong with a good ol’ chocolate one. Oh and chocolate pudding for the win!
Yesss lady, keep the positivity Ms.J recently posted..WIAW..it’s easier to just eat

Love the post theme! So creative. I had a craving for a smoothie last night (which never happens) and was totally amped to make one this morning…but instead I went back to my normal and had oats instead Davida @ The Healthy Maven recently posted..Glutes & Gams Workout

Still sounds like quite a good day of eats, even if it’s not what you normally do! And the car not starting because of the windchill sounds absolutely awful. Why isn’t it springtime yet?Amy @ Long Drive Journey recently posted..I Want That Wednesday – Blenders

Great idea for a post, it made me think! I have a very hard time breaking my routine. I have to force myself to branch out and roll with the punches. Recently though, I have incorporated some fun dance classes into my workout routine rather than my usual spinning or running rotation. It has brought so much more fun back into my workouts. Studies actually show that change is a really important key to happiness Lindsay recently posted..Stepping off the Scale

Ooo, nice new blender! I have the Ninja that’s around $100 and it’s been going strong for 2 years. I use for breaking down nuts, making energy balls, soups, almond milk…pretty much everything! I’m really impressed with it for the lower price point. Looks like a yummy day of eats!Deryn @ Running on Real Food recently posted..Pad Thai Slaw (V, GF, Paleo)

That savory breakfast looks delicious to me – great choice! And I’ve heard so many great things about Frozen, I really need to see that movie. Heather @ Better With Veggies recently posted..Microwave Egg Sandwich {+ WIAW}

I have 3 year old twins so I’ve seen Frozen on a weekly basis since it was released. It’s cold here in Toronto so a movie in the afternoon is a common go-to activity when we get sick of trampolining.

When ordering timbits I always go for half sour cream and half chocolate glazed…they’re the best!!! Haven’t had them in ages. Now I want some!

Your breakfast looks delicious, but I prefer a sweet breakfast as well. I’m all about my egg white oats. I always switch it up a few days of the week with an egg white veggie scramble, but I’m never as happy with it.

My kids are currently obsessed with Frozen. They are watching bits and pieces every day. I think it was one of the best movies but now I am done I am a jelly donut kind of girl…big globs of jelly! Chocolate pudding. I went out to lunch yesterday for work = break in routine!Tara Newman recently posted..WIAW: The Protein Challenge

So now you’ve got me craving chocolate glazed donuts big time… Those used to be my absolute favourite until Timmy’s decided to slap an allergy warning on em. So rude. At least I can still enjoy chocolate pudding! Belsoy makes good stuff, and if you can ever find the vanilla/chocolate kind from Zensoy, make sure to check it out — SO good.

And please don’t make me think about winter yet — I’m not ready to go back to it Amanda @ .running with spoons. recently posted... currently – march 2014 .

Notes to self: Try the avo and eggs on rice cakes thing, definitely have a donut with my next glass of wine, and my GOD I have to find somebody to go see Frozen with! Honestly, when I first saw the previews, I didn’t think much of it but after hearing how much (Smart Kitchen) Sarah loved it and now you, I’ve got to see it!

Best kind of donut: UNGLAZED blueberry cake! And butterscotch pudding if I’m choosing between those three, but I’d rather have tapioca…which is funny because it totally grossed me out as a kid! Ha!
